They are a tight fit..   MUST MUST use the freeze and heat method

1989kawasaki:
oh, my bearings came out with a few light taps

sniper1:
       Thanks guys and I ordered everything that went with the pump from bikebandit so on the schematic I just went nuts and got everything and figured I would ask you guys if I got jammed up later lol.

Every single Kx I have put WP bearings into was TIGHT TIGHT..

Freeze the bearings.
Heat the case..
Use a press.


Put both bearings in the case

then heat the case with the bearings in it, freeze the WP shaft,   Install shaft..

let cool, grease WP seal, install seal..

sniper1:
          Well sounds fairly simple and I've got a press so no problemo :) thanks for the info guys it's always nice to have those who have already done standing behind me while I dothis stuff :) feels like a verizon commercial all this support.
